    Hey I’m not American either and you’re still a dumbass that doesn’t know what they’re talking about. Lmao

    And you clearly don’t seem to have problem with US prison system, only that wrong people are sent there.

    No shit? What, you want to send the wrong people to prison? Good one bozo.

    You don’t know shit about the Soviets, don’t pretend red scare propaganda wasn’t a thing.

    I’m sure life in Russia was great under the Tzars and now under capitalist Putin/oligarchs.

    Take your eugenics pseudoscience bullshit and shove it up your ass.

    There is no if. We’re a social species, if everyone thought like you, people like Stephen Hawking would have never lived a full life.

    We lose so many good people to the “earn it” mentality.

    Babies don’t come out the womb walking. Nor are people born with the ability to hunt. Everything you have was given to you by another. Your mother didn’t ask you to earn it until you could, and whether or not people can is largely determined by their environment.

    Not to mention, how fucking arrogant do you have to be to demand someone earn the right to live? Who do you think you are, God?

    And then there is the little problem of capitalism rewarding people who “earned it” who are actually bad for society. Unless you think people like Biden and Trump somehow are more competent than most people? Both are rich and powerful people. Yet one is a genocidal asshole and the other is a con man. You’d have to be crazy to think they earned their power. I’d wager there are many homeless people that do less harm to the world than either.








  • Privately owned US companies that make massive profits off the capitalist system, like Stanford, obviously might not describe these things in an entirely honest way. The first definition of communism is almost correct, but the second is a common misinterpretation of communist theory.

    The people who solidified communism as a political theory made a pretty clear distinction between private and personal property, as well as what they thought of landlords. Renting requires someone to own the means of production and lend it out to someone at a profit, which goes against the very foundations of communist theory.

    Communism isn’t “the government takes all your stuff and divides it equally among people” either. I suggest reading some theory. Marxists.org is a good place to start https://www.marxists.org/subject/students/index.htm
